BA rear door speakers
Does anyone know if the rear door speakers of a BA astina have some sort of cross over built in to the wiring somewhere? Seem like the rears are only letting out bass and no high freq. Its a standard setup except for a different HU and i have replaced the rear speakers in the doors and still the same sort of low freq sound coming out .

If the new speakers are coaxials ( the little tweeter sits over the larger driver ) then there is often a crossover on the back of the speaker itself. Check that this is ok and the wires are still there. Also check that it hasn't gotten wet - which can happen when the window gets opened while wet.
If that looks ok, hook up a spare speaker that you know works. If that also only plays bass then the problem is at your head unit - and its probably just an EQ or built in crossover setting. |

what you mean to rear not sub? are you running your rear speakers of a amp or th head deck? cus what you are refering to i think is the RCA outputs that can have front/rear/sub and are plugs. speakers have to be wired in to the actual wires from the harness. im confused

perhaps.. but wouldnt that require a different amp, one that doesnt have rca plugs but terminals, cus i cant see how you can run a sub of a HU, well effectively anyway

I know exactly what your talking about but i have installed many stereos and i know about rca's and amps etc so the wiring is ok , the part i was talking about is on the Sony HU i have usually when its running if you press the dial it goes into the bass , treble etc settings but when the unit is on standby and you press the dial it only has 2 things , rear and sub and i think its for when your running rears and no sub it should be set at rear, when running a sub if you set it to sub then it must activate the rca's or maybe set a high pass for the rears?? Anyway i have tried both settings and the rear door speakers still sound like i have a low pass filter . I just thought it may have been a factory fitted item somewhere in the car . I havent had a chance to do any more to it but ill get to the bottom of it eventually. Thanks for the replies anyway |
